Project Pre-Gondola III. Phase I. Summary Report.

Abstract

Project Pre-Gondola III, Phase I, a continuation of chemical-explosive cratering experiments conducted in saturated clay-shale near Fort Peck, Montana, was designed to excavate a row crater with relatively flat side slopes. The technical programs conducted during the experiment were: (1) measurements of the apparent crater, (2) surface-motion analysis, (3) cloud-development studies, and (4) airblast measurements.
